Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
I noticed that several of you are members of the RDÉE, an organization dedicated to the economic development of francophone communities right across the country.
In the past few weeks, we've met with board members—who, by the way, are very active and represent the diverse economic situations in francophone communities throughout the country. Their executive director gave a very direct presentation.
I asked the board members about the fact that a number of organizations serving the francophone community across Canada provide services that, in some cases, overlap.
Do you think it's at all warranted or helpful to consider reducing the number of organizations? That way, those socially minded organizations working to foster economic development in francophone minority communities would have more funding.
That question is for the witnesses who are from RDÉE member organizations, specifically Mr. Afane and Ms. Arbez.
Could you tell me where you stand on that?
